Hi, I hope someone can help, and I hope this is in the correct place for this question.
Here are my specs:
AMD M5A78L-M PLUS/USB3
AMD FX-8350 8 core 4.0ghz
Corsair VS650
GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Boost (previously AMD Radeon HD7770)
My PC would randomly crash to black screen. When I reboot I receive the "ASUS anti-surge" message. I read some advice about disabling the anti-surge protection in bios, so I tried that but the crashes continue the same. At first I thought it could be overheating, but the crashes seem random: sometimes I can run the PC for 5 or 6 hours, sometimes just for 5 minutes, and other times it simply won't boot up at all. Powering off the PSU at the back for an extended time seems to bring the PC back to life for a little while, but then the crashes will return again.
At first I replaced the PSU but the crashes continue. (Is the "ASUS anti-surge" message a red herring?) I tried a new GPU, and still the same crashes. I replaced the RAM, still crashes. I replaced the Motherboard, and still crashes.
The most success I had was reinstalling Windows and the PC ran fine for 1-2 days. But then the crashes returned, and it wouldn't boot again until I leave everything unplugged for a while with the PSU switched off at the back. Reseating the parts also seems to bring it back to life for a while.
I could just keep buying new parts in the hope of finding the problem but I feel like I'm wasting money at this point. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks a lot for any help.
